Rainer Veil are Liam Morley and Dan Valentine, two friends who met while studying contemporary music in the north of England. The pair began improvising and making drones in a dark basement before incorporating a broader palette and forming Rainer Veil as an ongoing concern last year. "Struck" is their first EP and debut for Modern Love, following an appearance at the label Boiler Room takeover in August 2012.

The "Struck" EP incorporates recordings made over the last year and extends from the rewired jungle ruckus of the title track to the more emotive formation of "Wade In" and "Bala", through to the hazy closer "Yield". There’s a melancholy pop pulsing at the heart of these tracks, coloured by a love of electronic mutations from UK garage and hardcore rave to house and techno, most evident in the unusual recording process undertaken while constructing the EP. Each track was re-worked from radically different first drafts, often starting life as more recognisable and structured songs before being dismantled into more abstract shapes: percussion degraded and layered, vocals fed through analog delays, samples reworked at the wrong speed and re-sampled to tape for added warmth: the narrative all mixed up.
